Midcentury Leather Swing Chair by Illum Wikkelso, Denmark, 1950s
About the Item
Illum Wikkelsø (1919-1999) for Mikael Laursen, easy chair model no.103, in cognac leather and teak. Made in Denmark in the late 1950s.
The leather is attached to the wood frame of the chair and offers a very comfortable sitting experience.
Measures: Seat height is 14 1/8 in. and the arm heights are 19 1/4 in.
The sling chair is in original, very good condition.
It ships from Germany and includes shipping costs to Boston.
Like most Danish designers at the time, Wikkelsø studied cabinetry, graduating from the Copenhagen School of Arts & Crafts.
In 1954, he began designing his own furniture and, a few years later, established a workshop. Like many of his Danish contemporaries—Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl, and Hans Wegner, for example—Wikkelsø’s designs emphasize formal simplicity and biomorphic silhouettes. Wikkelsø’s background in cabinetry engendered in him a profound understanding of materials and an excellent attention to detail. Working with teak and rosewood, he captured delicately sculptural forms. Wikkelsø believed that furniture should be built to last while cradling the body and pleasing the eye.
